Im Frühjahr und Sommer reisten die Mitarbeiter und Mitarbeiterinnen des Seminars nach Stellenbosch, um die im Vorjahr beschlossenen Kooperationsvorhaben mit der Universität in Stellenbosch (Südafrika) weiter voranzubringen. Im Februar weilten die Literaturwissenschaftlerinnen auf African Studies Exchange Conference Berlin. Das Seminar war zudem Gastgeber für einige Gastwissenschaftler. Dr. Gideon Sunday Omanchonu, Dr. Félix Ayoh Omidir und Dr. Dotse Yigbe waren mit einem Stipendium der Humboldt-Stiftung bzw. des DAAD zu Gast. Bei Forschungsaufenthalten in Afrika vertieften unsere Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter ihre Kontakte zu Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler im Senegal, Äthiopien, Tansania, Botswana und Nigeria. Mitarbeiter und Mitarbeiterinnen des Seminars beteiligten sich auch 2011 an einer Reihe internationaler Konferenzen in aller Welt. Darüber hinaus war die Humboldt-Universität Schauplatz einiger von Mitarbeitern und Mitarbeiterinnen des Seminars organisierten Konferenzen und Workshops. Darunter war die von den Linguisten organisierte ‘Berlin Bantu Conference (B4ntu)’, die im April an der Humboldt-Universität stattfind. Die Historiker beteiligten sich an der Jahrestagung sowie einem Workshop zu Eliten im postkolonialen Afrika des SFBs 640, die im Frühjahr und Sommer stattfanden. Das Afrikakolloquium stand im Sommersemester unter dem Thema „Das Afrika der Städte“, bei dem wir u.a. zu Vorträgen von Prof. Birgitt Meyer und Maarten Mous (beide Universität Leiden) einladen konnten. Auf Initiative von Prof. Flora Veit-Wild und Prof. Susanne Gehrmann erblickte eine neue Publikationsreihe zu Literaturen und Künste im subsaharischen Afrika, LuKA, das Licht der Welt. Dr. Nadine Borchert veröffentlichte ihre Dissertation mit dem Titel The Numeral System of Ikaan, Dr. Ineke Phaf-Rheinberger brachte ihre Historias enredadas als Buch heraus. Daneben veröffentlichten unsere Mitarbeiter in nationalen und internationalen Fachzeitschriften und Sammelbänden. Im Berichtsjahr konnten wir einige neue Mitarbeiter am Seminar begrüßen. Die Literatur konnte Anne Schelhorn als neue Mitarbeiterin begrüßen. In der Linguistik übernahm Stephanie Lämmert die Vertretung des Swahili-Unterrichts. Zudem konnten wir neue Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter von Drittmittelprojekten begrüßen. Sandra Grether, Alexander Keese und Peggy Jacob nahmen ihre Arbeit an Forschungsprojekten auf. Dr. Nyota Shumirai und Dr. Morimoto Yukiko beendeten ihre Arbeit am Seminar. 7 FORSCHUNG DER SEMINARMITGLIEDER Forschungsschwerpunkte Yusuf Baba Gar Metamorphose der Performance in der Hausakultur Quellen, Praxis und Auswirkungen der Kanywood Home Videos Idiome, Sprichwörter Hausa, Labur Nadine Borchardt Historisch-vergleichende Linguistik (Bakola und dessen Status innerhalb der A80 Bantusprachgruppe) Kognitive Konzepte und semantische Kategorisierung (in Jäger-und-Sammler-Sprachen) Dr. Lutz Diegner Swahili-Literatur, insbesondere zeitgenössische Swahili-Romane Swahili-Unterricht, insbesondere Einsatz neuer Medien in der Sprachlehre, u.a.

Gutachterin: Prof. Dr. Mechthild Reh 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Ludwig Gerhardt Datum der Disputation: 15. November 2002 iii Acknowledgement I am indebted to many people for their support and encouragement. It is not possible to mention all by name. However, it would be remiss of me not to name some of them because their support was too conspicuous. I am bereft of words with which to thank my supervisor Prof. Dr. Mechthild Reh for accepting to supervise my research and her selflessness that enabled me secure further funding at the expiry of my one-year scholarship. Her thoroughness and meticulous supervision kept me on toes. I am also indebted to Prof. Dr. Ludwig Gerhardt for reading my error-ridden draft. I appreciate the support I received from everybody at the Afrika-Abteilung, Universität Hamburg, namely Dr. Roland Kießling, Theda Schumann, Dr. Jutta Becher, Christiane Simon, Christine Pawlitzky and the institute librarian, Frau Carmen Geisenheyner. Professors Myers-Scotton, Kamwangamalu, Clyne and Auer generously sent me reading materials whenever I needed them. Thank you Dr. Irmi Hanak at Afrikanistik, Vienna, Ndugu Abdulatif Abdalla of Leipzig and Bi. Sauda Samson of Hamburg. I thank the DAAD for initially funding my stay in Deutschland. Professors Miehe and Khamis of Bayreuth must be thanked for their selfless support. I appreciate the kind support I received from the Akademisches Auslandsamt, University of Hamburg.

  • Appendix 1 Vernacular Names
    Appendix 1 Vernacular Names The vernacular names listed below have been collected from the literature. Few have phonetic spellings. Spelling is not helped by the difficulties of transcribing unwritten languages into European syllables and Roman script. Some languages have several names for the same species. Further complications arise from the various dialects and corruptions within a language, and use of names borrowed from other languages. Where the people are bilingual the person recording the name may fail to check which language it comes from. For example, in northern Sahel where Arabic is the lingua franca, the recorded names, supposedly Arabic, include a number from local languages. Sometimes the same name may be used for several species. For example, kiri is the Susu name for both Adansonia digitata and Drypetes afzelii. There is nothing unusual about such complications. For example, Grigson (1955) cites 52 English synonyms for the common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) in the British Isles, and also mentions several examples of the same vernacular name applying to different species. Even Theophrastus in c. 300 BC complained that there were three plants called strykhnos, which were edible, soporific or hallucinogenic (Hort 1916). Languages and history are linked and it is hoped that understanding how lan- guages spread will lead to the discovery of the historical origins of some of the vernacular names for the baobab. The classification followed here is that of Gordon (2005) updated and edited by Blench (2005, personal communication). Alternative family names are shown in square brackets, dialects in parenthesis. Superscript Arabic numbers refer to references to the vernacular names; Roman numbers refer to further information in Section 4.

  • Revising the Bantu Tree
    Cladistics Cladistics (2018) 1–20 10.1111/cla.12353 Revising the Bantu tree Peter M. Whiteleya, Ming Xuea and Ward C. Wheelerb,* aDivision of Anthropology, American Museum of Natural History, 200 Central Park West, New York, NY, 10024-5192, USA; bDivision of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, 200 Central Park West, New York, NY, 10024-5192, USA Accepted 15 June 2018 Abstract Phylogenetic methods offer a promising advance for the historical study of language and cultural relationships. Applications to date, however, have been hampered by traditional approaches dependent on unfalsifiable authority statements: in this regard, historical linguistics remains in a similar position to evolutionary biology prior to the cladistic revolution. Influential phyloge- netic studies of Bantu languages over the last two decades, which provide the foundation for multiple analyses of Bantu socio- cultural histories, are a major case in point. Comparative analyses of basic lexica, instead of directly treating written words, use only numerical symbols that express non-replicable authority opinion about underlying relationships. Building on a previous study of Uto-Aztecan, here we analyse Bantu language relationships with methods deriving from DNA sequence optimization algorithms, treating basic vocabulary as sequences of sounds. This yields finer-grained results that indicate major revisions to the Bantu tree, and enables more robust inferences about the history of Bantu language expansion and/or migration throughout sub-Saharan Africa. “Early-split” versus “late-split” hypotheses for East and West Bantu are tested, and overall results are com- pared to trees based on numerical reductions of vocabulary data. Reconstruction of language histories is more empirically based and robust than with previous methods.

  • Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands
    Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands First compiled by Nancy Sack and Gwen Sinclair Updated by Nancy Sack Current to January 2020 Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands Background An inquiry from a librarian in Micronesia about how to identify subject headings for the Pacific islands highlighted the need for a list of authorized Library of Congress subject headings that are uniquely relevant to the Pacific islands or that are important to the social, economic, or cultural life of the islands. We reasoned that compiling all of the existing subject headings would reveal the extent to which additional subjects may need to be established or updated and we wish to encourage librarians in the Pacific area to contribute new and changed subject headings through the Hawai‘i/Pacific subject headings funnel, coordinated at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.. We captured headings developed for the Pacific, including those for ethnic groups, World War II battles, languages, literatures, place names, traditional religions, etc. Headings for subjects important to the politics, economy, social life, and culture of the Pacific region, such as agricultural products and cultural sites, were also included. Scope Topics related to Australia, New Zealand, and Hawai‘i would predominate in our compilation had they been included. Accordingly, we focused on the Pacific islands in Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia (excluding Hawai‘i and New Zealand). Island groups in other parts of the Pacific were also excluded. References to broader or related terms having no connection with the Pacific were not included. Overview This compilation is modeled on similar publications such as Music Subject Headings: Compiled from Library of Congress Subject Headings and Library of Congress Subject Headings in Jewish Studies.

    The world tree of languages: How to infer it from data, and what it is good for Gerhard Jäger Tübingen University Workshop Evolutionary Theory in the Humanities, Torun April 14, 2018 Gerhard Jäger (Tübingen) Words to trees Torun 1 / 42 Introduction Introduction Gerhard Jäger (Tübingen) Words to trees Torun 2 / 42 Introduction Language change and evolution “If we possessed a perfect pedigree of mankind, a genealogical arrangement of the races of man would afford the best classification of the various languages now spoken throughout the world; and if all extinct languages, and all intermediate and slowly changing dialects, had to be included, such an arrangement would, I think, be the only possible one. Yet it might be that some very ancient language had altered little, and had given rise to few new languages, whilst others (owing to the spreading and subsequent isolation and states of civilisation of the several races, descended from a common race) had altered much, and had given rise to many new languages and dialects. The various degrees of difference in the languages from the same stock, would have to be expressed by groups subordinate to groups; but the proper or even only possible arrangement would still be genealogical; and this would be strictly natural, as it would connect together all languages, extinct and modern, by the closest affinities, and would give the filiation and origin of each tongue.” (Darwin, The Origin of Species) Gerhard Jäger (Tübingen) Words to trees Torun 3 / 42 Introduction Language phylogeny Comparative method 1
